Lactose free milk for an 11 month old?

[Natzer]

DD has been poorly this week with a virus, I can't get much food in her and each time I give her milk she throws it up. I am hoping to avoid milk for a short while until she is feeling better, but would like to be able to give her things like cereal, porridge, baby rice with fruit etc. Is there any reason why I cant give her some lactose free milk just to mix with cereal etc, not as a drink.

You can get lactofree cows milk or use something like oat milk or soya milk.

I was going to ask a similar question. Our son, 11 months, hasn't had a solid poo since before xmas and the health visitor/doc are wondering if he is lactose intolerant. I've got LF formula on prescription, but was wondering about milk for cereal - at present he has full fat cows' milk and yoghurt.

To see if he really is intolerant, we need to eliminate lactose-y things completely, they said. So was planning on giving him soya milk in cereal, rice pudding etc. That's what I have, as I don't like the taste of normal milk, so we have it in the house.

But I'm a bit concerned about him getting all the calcium he needs. The soya milk we have in the house has 35% of the calcium RDA for an adult in a 250ml serving, and he has 3 x 120ml bottles of formula per day. But he also eats a lot of yoghurt. Does soya yoghurt have calcium added, does anyone know?

Sorry, this is a bit of a ramble, but shattered after a day of baby chasing!
